    SFI: remove __init from sfi_verify_table
    
    sfi_verify_table() is called at runtime, and thus cannot be __init

    SFI: fix section mismatch warnings in sfi_core.c
    
    The function sfi_map_memory/sfi_unmap_memory uses
    early_ioremap/early_iounmap respectively, which refers to a __init
    function.  And function sfi_check_table also refers to a __init function
    sfi_verify_table.  Since the references are valid, so use __ref to get rid
    of the warnings.
    
     We were warned by the following warnings:
    
      LD      vmlinux.o
      MODPOST vmlinux.o
    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xb6ba3a): Section mismatch in reference from
    the function sfi_map_memory() to the function
    .init.text:early_ioremap()
    The function sfi_map_memory() references
    the function __init early_ioremap().
    This is often because sfi_map_memory lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of early_ioremap is wrong.
    
    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xb6bab6): Section mismatch in reference from
    the function sfi_unmap_memory() to the function
    .init.text:early_iounmap()
    The function sfi_unmap_memory() references
    the function __init early_iounmap().
    This is often because sfi_unmap_memory lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of early_iounmap is wrong.
    
    WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xb6be30): Section mismatch in reference from
    the function sfi_check_table() to the function
    .init.text:sfi_verify_table()
    The function sfi_check_table() references
    the function __init sfi_verify_table().
    This is often because sfi_check_table lacks a __init
    annotation or the annotation of sfi_verify_table is wrong.
